Arvind Kejriwal had disregarded nine summonses to appear for questioning by the Enforcement Directorate.Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, was detained by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday night in relation to a money laundering investigation that is connected to the liquor policy issue. At the time of his detention in a criminal case, Kejriwal was India’s first chief minister in office. Hours after the Delhi High Court denied the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) protection from arrest, the ED took action.
The AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, declared that he will not step down as Delhi’s chief minister. The JP Nadda-led party has sought Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation, while the Aam Aadmi Party has called for nationwide protests outside the BJP offices.Key Aam Aadmi Party figures like Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Sanjay Singh are behind bars, creating a leadership vacuum. Sunita Kejriwal, the spouse of Amit Shah, and Saurabh Bharadwaj, the cabinet member, could potentially spearhead the party’s candidatures in the Lok Sabha elections.
Today, Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to appear in court. To question him, the Enforcement Directorate will request his custody. The arrest of AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh is the 16th by the ED in this matter. Arvind Kejriwal had disregarded nine of the agency’s summonses for interrogation.
